Sorry still doesn't explain why none of the bonuses were given while she keeps hers..

I have the exact same experience with AP. I trust it on highways until a merge or lane split is ahead. I think it's so silly that the decision making isn't more robust..

If I can't trust AP with simple road rules, then why bother upgrading to FSD?

Did they ever get around to building a stable OpenXR toolkit? It seemed like an afterthought last time I checked..

This is the type of role blockchains will fill: provide uniqueness and portability where necessary

What does portability mean in this context? I assume he just means it's a digital asset so it is inherently easy to move around.

I believe a better wording would have been interoperable.

I feel the same. Most my friends just use Instagram (for memes mostly). I like using just Snapchat for sharing photos with my close friends, which is better than sharing with literally everyone.

Of course, you still have people who's primary motive is to farm for likes. I don't see their attitudes changing anytime soon..

I have a Valve Index as well, but I don't understand how it is a pain to setup. It's basically like putting two picture frames on the wall.

It's good to see that more consumers will come onboard with this insanely good price. I don't know if it is needed to propel VR forward, but at least more people can experience it.

I think this is pretty spot on. I'd like to think many of us are similar to home builders. We have all the standard supplies/tools at our disposal. The blueprints are quite similar to other homes because that's what our users expect, something familiar.

Of the populations analyzed, 82 per cent were found to be below levels that can produce maximum sustainable yields, due to being caught at rates exceeding what can be regrown. Of these, 87 populations were found to be in the “very bad” category, with biomass levels at less than 20 per cent of what is needed to maximize sustainable fishery catches.

It seems to me that we don't have a clear concept of sustainable commercial fishing looks like (with regards to wild capture). Thankfully, it seems Aquaculture is on the rise to offset increasing demand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_industry

If you're craving some philosophy I would recommend "The Problems of Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell. It's about 160 pages and you can easily skip around to chapters that interest you. Quite thought-provoking.

I have a Fred on my team. He recently took a few weeks to refactor a large part of the codebase which consisted of about 200 file changes. The problem with this approach is that he never discussed his changes with the team, leaving the discussion until code review time. Some refactoring doesn't quite need a discussion, but large changes should.

It should go without saying that I think refactoring is super valuable. The way to go about it is to: 1. Recognize what in the codebase you see an opportunity to refactor 2. Discuss with the team (more experienced developers can have some useful suggestions) 3. Write a separate ticket for the changes (you can prioritize this after your required work)

Obviously, #3 won't work if your group doesn't value refactoring. In that case, you should bring up the conversation. You'll probably find many/most of your coworkers will be in agreement.

As with any form of discrimination, the individuals who subscribe to such a worldview are just shallow. They don't have an appreciation for the complexity and history of each human life.

From the article: “What we did was not cold fusion,” says Lawrence Forsley, a senior lead experimental physicist for the project. Cold fusion, the idea that fusion can occur at relatively low energies in room-temperature materials, is viewed with skepticism by the vast majority of physicists. Forsley stresses this is hot fusion, but “We’ve come up with a new way of driving it.”

I generally don't buy Samsung devices. That being said, I think the stylus is a great standout feature. The Note 20 Ultra has a stylus latency of 9ms, which is huge!

"11. The Never-Ending Now: The structure of our social media feeds blinds us to history, as it causes us to live in an endless cycle of ephemeral content consumption. The structure of the Internet pulls people away from age-old wisdom. "

I frequently find myself in this mode. Whether it's the latest youtube video or tweet. There's something to be said about looking back at past events and investigating what you might have failed to learn or appreciate.

I think it is all listed here: https://android.googlesource.com/

It's interesting to see how they call out repositories specifically for different manufacturers (ex. Samsung, Sony).

The Open Source nature of Android might have something to do with it as well. It is interesting to compare iOS and Android in terms of how visible the source code is and how much vulnerable a system can be in effect.

Here's an interesting article that goes in depth about the concept: https://dwheeler.com/secure-programs/Secure-Programs-HOWTO/o...

The article references some google trends data on electronic dance music, but if you query for EDM instead you get a different picture: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2010-01-01%202....

I don't follow the EDM scene personally, so I don't know if interest has been on the decline in recent years.
